Part 1: Fabricating the bases
Watch on Vimeo: Checkerboard Project Part 1

These earrings and cuff-links are simple champleve style and the excitement and glamour comes from the layering of enamels and gold leaf foils! It’s a great intro project- no fussy wires, just fun bright colors and patterns.

This is a good project if you are using a smaller EZ style torch. The bases are small and easy to fuse, after a little practice!
